So for the last one and one half years I have owned a Cricut Create and did nothing with it. Well now I have! Thanks to my friend Jackie, I learned a few things, first of all I learned that I could connect it to the Cricut Craft Room which, for some reason, I thought only the newer ones could connect to the PC. Well I was wrong of course!
Here's a funny (not really) story!
I hooked up my Cricut to my pc after downloading the Craft Room and it said I needed to update the firmware. I attempted to numerous times, called the company- they had me load the old verion of the room, try a differnet browser and run through the update a few more times, bought and used a new USB cable.... IT DIDN'T WORK!
Asked Jackie for help.....
Turns out, like any other tech issue, it was an operater error. Wrong firmware (well right firmware wrong machine). Sadly I'm suppose to work in the IT field. :-(
End of funny story!
Anywho, I played around with a couple different cartridges just to get the hang of learning the buttons. I even had the chance to purchase some Heat N Bond iron-on fusible interfacing. So with all of that being said these are the sad thing I attempted to make my first go 'round.
The two items on a black background are adhered to black cotton fabric using the fusible interface. The others are on basic card stock.
Now I know how to use the machine and the software.
THANKS JACKIE!
